10. A charger for automated charging, the charger comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver;
a charging controller; and
an electronic processor coupled to the memory, the transceiver, and the charging controller, the electronic processor configured to:
receive a user-entered input relative to a price indication;
store, in the memory, a rate profile of a power grid, the rate profile including at least one time period, at least one rate associated with the at least one time period, and the user-entered input relative to a price indication including at least one selected from a group consisting of a low price indication, a medium price indication, and a high price indication,
generate a charging profile based on the rate profile, a time to full charge, and a target time for completion of charging, and
charge, using the charging controller, based on the charging profile, wherein when charging cannot be completed before the target time, the electronic processor generates a rate profile that continuously charges to the target time.
